I have just uploaded 2.9-2 including your patch.

I have not included the part about moving to 3.0 source format. Sorry,
but I need some time to study that carefully and I need to be confortable
with the format before actually using it for the packages I maintain.
[ I wonder if it is acceptable to change source format in a NMU at all ].


BTW: I have not closed the bug in the upload, as I'm not convinced
that it's a bug in diffutils: If you write a program (dpkg-dev) which
relies on the console output of another progam (diff), being that a
dangerous thing, then you should be ready to change the first program
whenever the console output of the second program changes.

I also do not understand the blurb you included in the changelog for
the NMU. Why can't we fix this in squeeze? We have Depends and Breaks.
I guess some combination of that will work, unless there is something
I'm missing.
